True bro, @Kabe2 any video footage??
Trenches and sand bags were visible from the photos released. Raising the question; Were they troops or BHT elements being captured from the drone footage.
Please explain your question.
Are the dead men not dead?
Or is this not Baga vegetation?
The drone footage is a static footage that represents one second of what goes on.
In other words the attention span of a housefly.
What happens afterwards is any average soldiers intelligence.

Furthermore, one of the damaged vehicles probably towed to the entrance of a third shelter (probably after the attack.

A couple of more interesting pieces of loot from GNA capturing al-Watiyah Airbase from LNA:
An Mi-35 & an LT-79.

Also, appears that the official uniform of the offensive was a wifebeater, shorts & flip-flops

#ISIS West Africa published images of their fighters during Ramadam, seemingly on ribat, during attacks etc.

Unfortunately unsure what particular area they aare operating in. Rare to see in a qasi-urban area. Seems to be standard ISWA units, standard equipment.

"Daily life" scense, praying, reading, eating etc. Bulgarian MG-1M PK, captured from the NA, seen in the first iamges.

Their semi-Gorka clothing design is quite interesting.

The fighters near Lake Chad by their equipment- standardised chest rigs, AKM, PK/M etc. Shows the direct influence of IS-C in IS WA development.

Nigerian news is currently pushing the "total defeat on all fronts" narrative RE BH/IS, pics possibly designed to counter.

Really got me confused me with your explanations, well, to further clarify my question. I was asking if the location captured from the drone footage was actually showing NA positions or BHT location. This was promoted due to the trenches and sandbags as seen from the footage.

[/b]These images are clearly a PR stunt in has a result of the set back in the past week. No video showing them overrunning military formations.

Damn it, these guys were really giving enough breathing space to form a formidable force, the standardization of their uniforms, arms and manning of checkpoints is crazy.

Libya- going back to the strategic value of the GNA capturing al-Watiyah Airbase from the LNA (aside for the symbolism and all the toys they captured there):

1) LNA lost its main base of operations (not only air) in western Libya
2) GNA has so many resources freed now.
3) If the GNA will repurpose its secondary role, it Would allow them to split their assets and better protect them & supply lines but given the LNA's current positioning, that would be relatively marginal.

BAGA is a well known Sandy Area
Yesterday the NA wrote a detailed report as to how they neutralized 20 ISWAP bh and captured 6AK AND 5 TYPE 36 grenades
with KIA
Today ISWAP released video the receiver of the video said he could not verify the location of the VIDEO
Trust me on this the NAF and NA can VERIFY the location of those places for him.
WAR is not a game
ISWAP is daily suffering horrendous casualties
some of them are being used as target practice in NIGER
They can post glossy pictures and stage suicidal attacks on fobs
ISWAP and BH if the momentum is sustained by the AFN is sustained and ramped up after the Rainy season is over are done FIRST Q 2021.

Damn see equipment abeg!!!!!
We could lobby a third party via black market to buy up most of these abandoned hardwares especially the aircrafts, am very sure those Libyans will sell off most of these machines at giveaway prices. I think operations like these can be spear headed by the NIA. Some of these equipment (Aircrafts ) can't be operated by some of these rebels, offer them money and use NAF in a covert operations to airlifts these things.
I know this isn't as easy as it might seem but it is doable.

when one looks at LIBYA
It is hard to turn away
less than 20 years ago their standard of living was rated one of the highest in the world ( no exaggeration)
What it has been reduced to now is a sobering reality
of a failed state where
First World countries use it as a testing ground for their SF.
It is sad.

Very sad indeed, the more reason why we should have acquired all or most of their military assets not just for the reason that we might be getting them at giveaway prices but the fact that we will be reducing the chances of terrorists getting hold of them.

This is what the western powers and there NATO allies gave us in Africa.
Now arms proliferation has littered the whole Northern, western and part of east Africa has a result of the collapse of Lybia.
My heart bleeds when I see images like that, heavy weaponry falling into the hands of wrong hands.
